DETAILING FOR ERECTOR'S SAFETY and EFFICIENCY

PREAMBLE
The growing trends towards Design-Build and Fast-Track methods of construction have made it more important than ever that the cooperation between members of the steel industry become even more concentrated. The ever-increasing demands from insurance and bonding interests as well as codifying bodies and government regulators only serve to emphasize the need for unification. To that end the NISD and SEAA have partnered in the production of this manual. The intent is to permit detailers and erectors together to better provide structures that are safer, timely, and more erectable, and to promote the use of structural steel as the material of choice. At the same time the impact of those demands on all of us associated in the steel community must be minimized if we are to be successful in reaching our goals. By working together we can satisfy our purpose of achieving successful project completion that provides a quality product that is accident free, efficient, productive and profitable for all involved. Following are a number of suggested concepts, hints and illustrations for erection procedures, which have been based on the OSHA 2001(29 CFR 1926.750 thru 761) new steel erection standard and the combined experience of SEAA and NISD members. None of the information presented in this guide is meant to supersede project-specific contracts, codes, specifications, or government regulations. Readers are encouraged to refer to the AISC Code of Standard Practice, the AISC Erector Certification Program, the NISD Industry Standard publication and the AISC New OSHA Rules Advisory for additional resources. Also, the NISD Guidelines For The Successful Presentation of Steel Design Documents and the AISC publication Working With Structural Steel In Schedule Driven Projects will provide valuable insight. In all cases the role and responsibility of the design engineer of record is paramount to the proper utilization and approval of the actual use of any information contained herein. The information presented in this publication has been prepared for general information only.

THE TEAM
Successful steel project completion depends on the cooperative activities of many players. The owner, the architect, the engineer, the controlling contractor, the fabricator, the detailer, the independent suppliers, and the erector all play significant roles. This guideline will focus mainly on the contributions of the detailer and the erector; often two of the last participants to be brought onboard, yet two of the key players in the success of the project. The detailer is often described as an interpreter. He is the lead off man on many projects and is often the first to interface with the architect/engineer drawings. His responsibility is to correctly interpret the design information and to relay that data, in the form of shop and field drawings, to the approving agent, the fabricator, and the erector. The exacting nature of the detailers work, which requires zero-defect production, must account for every piece of steel on the job. He must utilize the design information to produce mill orders and to produce error-free shop drawings. The detailer must provide the erector with not only member placement drawings but also with the assurance that every piece of steel has been detailed, in proper sequence, and that the steel is safely erectable with connections that match, clearances considered, bolt placement possible and all special requirements recognized. If the detailer is one of the first to begin the arduous task of providing successful steel projects, the erector is the last. It is the erector who must make it all come together in the field and the one who is the recipient of any errors or omissions which any of the preceding players may have made. His job, no matter the weather or how challenging the conditions; is to not only bring all the pieces of steel together but to do so with all due consideration to the education and safety of the workers on the job. To permit these players to better accomplish their tasks, communication becomes of utmost importance. Not only must the erector and detailer communicate with each other but the other players must also be involved. Owners should bring all of the players on board as soon as possible and encourage kick-off meetings to permit the players to begin to form a team so that communication flows freely and all hands are working towards the common goal. Concepts, methods, and plans must be agreed on; not to mention scheduling. With all players contributing to the best of their ability, from original contract documents to final bolt placement, our project can be brought to the successful completion we all desire.

PRE DRAFTING
Prior to the start of the detailing process, we suggest that (at a kick-off meeting, if possible) the following checklist items be considered: 1) Sequence & schedule of erection: Grid lines, floors, derricking, size, tonnage. 2) Shipping requirements: Site layout, access and lay-down area, splice requirements, and shipping methods. 3) Crane capacity weight and reach constraints and hazards. 4a) Types of Connection: (e.g. seated, shear-tab, moment, girts hung or seated, etc.) 4b) Bolting requirements: (e.g. types, installation snug-tight, slip critical, Direct Tension Indicators (DTI), etc., clearance for torque guns or tools. 5) Safety requirements: prevailing codes, OSHAs requirements, fall protection, perimeter protection, safety aids, egress requirements, etc, etc. 5a) Joist Connections 5b) Fall Protection 5c) Column Splicing 5d) Beam to Column Connections 5e) Bracing 6) Field welding requirements: procedures preferences, joint preparation, and access. 7) Communication channels: between erector, fabricator, detailer, professionals, and inspector. 8) Pre-bid value engineering: best connections, shop assemblies, mechanical penetrations reinforcing, tie joists. 9) Responsibilities; contractual, design, connection design, approvals, revisions, payments. 10) Joist/ Deck/ Floor & Roof openings 11) Erectability: bolt access, shop assemblies, clearances for torque guns, hands and tools, leveling devices.

DETAILING FOR ERECTOR'S SAFETY and EFFICIENCY

CHECKLIST
1) Sequence: Erector/Contractor must establish, prior to commencement of work, the sequencing so that material may be ordered and members detailed in proper order. Detailer must indicate on mill lists, shop drawings, and member placement drawings (plans and elevations) the required sequence. Revisions to the chain of sequence are expensive in terms of time and money. 2) Shipping: The erector may visit the site prior to bidding to establish what, if any, special conditions exist which are not indicated on the contract documents, however it is the controlling contractors responsibility to provide site access or advise if it is not available. In the event conditions warrant special considerations such as splicing, shipping methods, etc., the erector must advise the detailer and fabricator in a timely manner. Suggested resolution, design and/or approval of the special situation must be reviewed by the appropriate parties. 3) Cranes: The erector must notify the detailer and others if there are any special requirements due to crane reach, availability, or capacity that will affect someone elses particular operation. Critical lifts of large members, or irregular shapes, lifting lugs, and/or lifting locations should be defined and the detailer advised so that this information may be given on the drawings if necessary. Provided the erector's directives are received in a timely fashion, the detailer and fabricator should consult with the erector and define a plan of how best to proceed. If the center of gravity must be defined the design engineer should provide this information. The erector may request that the detailer show lifting weights or crane locations on the member placement drawings. 4) Types of Connections: If and when connection types are not dictated on the design documents the fabricator, detailer, and erector must consult as to what type of connection(s) will be utilized and whose responsibility is the adequacy of the connection; are moment connections field bolted or welded? Are beam to column webs seated and how much tolerance should be allowed to prohibit column leaning in multiple bays: Will girt connections at columns be seated or hung? How are spandrels and kickers treated?

DETAILING FOR ERECTOR'S SAFETY and EFFICIENCY

5) Bolting: The required type and number of bolts is the responsibility of the design engineer. However, the detailer must insure that these bolts can not only be entered, but that they can also be tightened. Care must be taken to avoid bolt to bolt interference. Latest bolt specifications must be incorporated. The erector must be made aware of the type of bolt being furnished, the number of washers required and the method of tightening. The introduction of Tension Control Bolts (TCB) and Load Indicator Washers (LIW) has helped the erector to know he has achieved specification requirements. Bolting instructions and requirements must be noted. Bolt placement lists must be accurate and precise. A minimum of 2 bolts is required at each end of a main member, and recommended at secondary members, for erection. Utilize permanent bolts at beam webs for moment connections whenever possible. When connections to shear tabs require that the bolt hole is located inside the flange, bolt entry and driving clearance become a factor. Try to place bolt holes in a shear tab on the outside of flanges whenever possible (engineer approval may be required if a lever arm is created). If web stiffeners or seats become necessary the ability to erect beams above or below may become a problem. 6) Safety requirements: The OSHA 2001 update requires the engineering community to give certain information to the construction team and identify what creates the lateral stability of a structure when complete; e.g. deck diaphragm shear, concrete cores, masonry shear walls or steel bracing. The detailer and erector should communicate to best solve the issues of temporary bracing and aids. The goal obviously is to stabilize the structure during and after erection. As temporary framing is often not within the detailers or fabricators scope of work, the erector is responsible for temporary erection bracing, only during the erection process, unless specified otherwise in the contract documents. 6a) Joist OSHA mandates that when columns are not framed in at least two (2) directions with solid members (beams or joist girders) a vertical stabilizer plate shall be provided on each column for an OSHA required bolted steel joist. This plate must be a minimum of 6 inches by 6 inches and located 3 inches below the bottom of the joist with one 13/16 inch diameter hole for guying or plumbing cables.

DETAILING FOR ERECTOR'S SAFETY and EFFICIENCY

6b) Fall Protection: The most common, if not most important, issue is that of fall protection. Multistory structures require guardrail cable at the floor perimeter and at large interior floor and roof openings. While the erector has been providing these devices for years it is required by OSHA 2001 that this be incorporated into the shop details. The method to accomplish this protection should be agreed upon prior to commencement of detailing. The erector may desire that shear studs or other items be shop attached rather than field applied. In these cases adequate fall protection must be provided and detailer/fabricator notified prior to detailing. 6c) Column Splices: The column length should be designed on the contract documents. In cases where they are not, for structures of one or two stories (with or without a basement), a column length in excess of 40 feet is quite long. While the erector might prefer long columns, and would find a way stabilize them with bracing or framing, it may be necessary for safety or shipping purposes to splice the columns. The detailer should consult with the erector to determine if, and where, a splice may be required. The designer and fabricator should also be contacted to give approval and design of the requested splice. When splicing columns on multistory projects, OSHA has mandated that columns be spliced 4 feet above the finished floor elevation. This permits the required perimeter cable to be installed at the necessary heights. Bolted splices are preferred, but when welded splices are used the 4 feet allows the erector/welder to work in a safe, comfortable position. When welded splices are utilized always prepare the upper column for welding. Tiered columns should always have a lifting device or a hole at the top of the shaft for attaching the hoisting mechanism or cable. 6d) Column Bases: OSHA 2001 requires that all columns now have a minimum of 4 anchor bolts. The detailer should reference to the contract documents to determine how much, if any, over-sizing of anchor rod holes should be provided. The use of leveling devices and what type should also be discussed with the erector. 6e) Beam to Column Connections: per OSHA 2001 directives, all double connections at column webs or beam webs over columns must have staggered clip angles or a beam seat or a top flange clip angle. Where not possible to provide these safety connections, the detailer is required by OSHA to add a note of

02/09

SEAA

Serving Detailers since 1969

DETAILING FOR ERECTOR'S SAFETY and EFFICIENCY

warning to the erector on the member placement drawings. Deck supports may be required at deck cutouts near beam to beam or beam to column connections. Consult with the erector, fabricator, detailer, and clients to preferred method. 6f) Bracing: A minimum of one bolt at each end of a solid web bracing member shall be used, as directed by OSHA 2001. Holes for erection bolts are required at welded tube bracing. Provide a 1/8 inch oversized slot for erection clearance over gusset and resize the welds accordingly. Check for bolt insertion clearance at gusset plates, end plates, etc. Keep gusset plates to a minimum size by utilizing the uniform force method unless otherwise directed by the contract documents. 7) Field Welding: The erector must advise the detailer prior to shop drawing preparation what type of field welds are desired so that end preparations, root openings etc. may be properly detailed. It is the responsibility of the contract documents, not the erector, to advise the detailer of what and where any NDT is required so that the detailer can identify those areas on the member placement diagrams if requested. Special requirements for seismic considerations should be reviewed. 8) Communication: Contacts and communication are paramount to a successful project. It is only through the spirit of cooperative communication that success can be achieved and we encourage all parties to appoint a liaison with decision making authority to maintain contact with the other members of the construction/owner team. It should also be remembered by detailer and erector alike that their client should always be contacted whenever work is requested that may affect their clients scope. 9) Value Engineering: Erectors, detailers, fabricators and others may desire certain changes be made to the contract documents in order to expedite their portion of the work or to make the design more suitable to their particular operation. There may also be instances where an experienced firm may discover certain changes where, if incorporated, can be beneficial to the firm, the projects owner, or both. Certain changes may also make the bids more competitive or improve the safety conditions for a supplier. In any event, these changes should naturally be requested as early as possible, prior to bid time if permitted.

02/09

DETAILING FOR ERECTOR'S SAFETY and EFFICIENCY

Requests for certain type splices, connections, shop assemblies, erection procedures, etc., which were not considered in the contract documents should be presented prior to bid time if possible. Concerns about the availability of information to permit detailing-fabrication-erection to proceed in a timely manner should be communicated at this time; in particular concerns about mechanical openings, spandrels, field measurements, drainage, pour stop attachment, brick relief systems or other supplier required data should be addressed promptly. 10) Responsibility: To ensure that all members of the team are treated fairly it must be remembered that any required or requested changes which differ from information given in the design documents may have an impact financially on other members of the team. It should also be remembered that these changes may result in additional engineering calculations or approvals and possible schedule adjustments. We highly recommend that the proponent of the change communicate with the other players to insure that no one is unfairly jeopardized. 11) Erectability: Last, but not least on our checklist of items to be considered, is the erectability of the member. Can the bolts be entered and driven? Should certain pieces be shop assembled? Can the member be swung into place or do stiffeners, cap plates, connection angles, doubler plates or other items interfere? Are special notes required? Will the mechanical openings be available prior to installation of deck and siding? The ever growing use by the detailer of reproductions of the design documents as member placement plans require certain cautions by the detailer: is the required erection information fully shown? Is the drawing legible in the field or is it cluttered with superfluous information? (shop information, concrete data, sections and views taken without cross reference to where/from each section or view is cut, or references to drawings not included in the member placement drawing being used by the erector).
